Eliyahu Ungar-Sargon (Writer, Director, Cinematographer) grew up in an Orthodox Jewish family in Brookline, MA. When he was 13 years old, his family moved to Israel where he lived until he was 19. Upon earning his Bagrut matriculation, Eliyahu decided not to serve in the Israeli Defense Forces with his peers choosing instead to study Medicine in the UK. Three years into his MD degree, he decided to abandon Medicine to pursue a career in film. After earning two degrees from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Eliyahu completed his first feature-length documentary, Cut: Slicing Through the Myths of Circumcision. He has since completed Generation Gap, a short, minimalist documentary about the impact of the Holocaust on three generations of his family. A People Without a Land is his second feature-length documentary.
